We truly have no words and know his story will inspire many others on their bereavement journey. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, Craig. 🥹

The first official Fitzroy Community Hospice Auxiliary event was a runaway success! The Mother's Day High Tea brought 100 ladies together in the beautiful Frenchville Sports Club Ltd function rooms and raised over $7,100 for palliative care and bereavement support services in CQ.

Our infinite thanks to Kitty and her team of Kris, Marg, Christina, Bev, Madonna and Carole for all their hard work in delivering this event for the Hospice. We can't wait to see what this amazing volunteer group will do next, and we look forward to growing the High Tea next year!

If you are interested in joining our Auxiliary, please come along to the next meeting on Wednesday 27 May at the Hospice. Please message this page if you aren't able to attend but would like more information.

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸! 🙌

It's National Volunteer Week and we're celebrating all of the wonderful humans who volunteer with us here at the Hospice. 💛

We're so blessed to have their help in a wide variety of areas including maintenance and gardening, administration, fundraising and events, personalised support and care for our patients and families, and more. ✨

We were lucky to see a few of their friendly faces today to show our gratitude for all that they do, and look forward to seeing more of them as the week progresses.

From the bottom of our heart to yours, THANK YOU! 🙏

Thank you also to the Caton family at Lush Lychees for generously donating jars of honey for our volunteers this week. 🐝

What an wonderful week we've had recognising 🧡𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝑾𝒆𝒆𝒌🧡 within the Rockhampton community.

From hosting a very successful Advance Care Planning workshop on Monday, to chatting with 'palliative care nurses of tomorrow' at the Capricorn MEGA Careers Expo at CQU yesterday - with Hoist for Hospice 2026 and an engaging morning tea with local indigenous elders in between. It has been incredibly rewarding connecting with so many people and talking about the very special end-of-life care provided to patients and their families at Fitzroy Community Hospice.

We'd like to close out the week reiterating 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝. We hope all our interactions over the past week have inspired our community to ask 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 to reveal 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬.

If we can provide any further information and support regarding advance care planning or the palliative care and bereavement support services provided at our Hospice, please reach out by phoning 07 4887 4138. We'll be happy to help answer your questions. 🧡
